With the possible long-term effects of Wilson's injury, it would make a lot of sense to go RB in Round 2-3. I'd actually prefer Stankey or possibly Charles Sims than a Seastrunk type. RBs who are solid and experienced in pass protection get on the field earlier in the NFL careers because they have the HC's trust.

This is the deepest draft we've seen in years. Clowney and barr will be superstars on the defensive side... one of the best tackles in recent years in matthews (there's beem good ones as well but matthews is a mauler) and probably 5-6 quarterbacks that'll get taken in the first round.

If somehow we end up with the first overall pick, we need to trade back and take someones house. Preferably cleveland with two first round picks this year. Bridgewater is getting more hype than rgIII ( st louis traded the second overall pick to washington for 3 first rounders and a second rounder)

I like the idea of drafting Matthews, move Beatty to RT and Pugh to RG, along with Gmen's idea of Mack and Pettigrew. Booth can remain at LG.

Maybe Coughlin rings up Weis and Crennel back to big blue to shore up offense and defense._________________

the challenge is, as we've seen in the past few drafts, that team's really fear the "trade the house" mentality, especially if there is going to be (as you mention) 5+ qbs. trading multiple 1st/2nd round picks has the ability to RUIN your organization for a long time, and/or puts that much more of an onus on getting your late round picks right. Shanahan has a history of hitting on later round draft picks. not sure how many GMs might have the same level of confidence...

But many gms can also say "do I want an rg3/luck type quarterback or do I want a gabbert/cassell/sanchez type qb. That's the dofference betweem pick 1, 2, 3 and pick 8-12

fair point. but every GM is going to "think" they know the guy best for their job, right? if i'm at 8, i'd surely love to have an rg3/luck player. but i'm also at 8 for a reason. so do i sell the farm to get him knowing that i now have 3+ less picks to make the team better? or trust my scouting and go with the guy that "falls" to me at 8? Gabbert never should've been taken in the first round, but look at the organization that took him! Sanchez is a bit of a different story because I think its arguable that the Jets mishandled him (arguable, I said, not probable). Cassel was a 7th round pick so not sure why he's in the convo, but as the type/quality of QB i get the point.

i obviously don't make the big bucks running an organization, but "can't miss" or not, i'd be scared as hell of putting my job on the shoulders of one single, unproven player without a cast of characters around him.

don't think there's a right answer, but interesting to discuss the behavioral aspects of the draft minds. _________________“I feel sorry for people who don’t drink. They wake up in the morning and that’s the best they’re going to feel all day.”

Ohh fun fun mock drafts. I'll give it a shot. I won't use the Cleveland trade because frankly I don't find that believable. I think the draft order would go something like:
1. Jaguars(1-15)-QB
2. Vikings(2-14)-QB-- I just looked at their schedule and holy [inappropriate/removed] they probably wont win another game this year.
3. Bucs(2-14)-QB
4. Giants(5-11)-?
5. Browns(6-10)-QB

Man...I think we'll end up 4-12 at best looking at our schedule. But the way Philly and Washington are improving we may not win any games against them either. So...Minny and Oakland could be our only wins. If...we get them. Man. Sad.

That said I agree that Minny may not win another game this year...Not sure who Tampa is going to beat either or...Jacksonville. Cleveland I can see getting to 4-5 wins. I can see most (if not all) of the 3-3 teams getting 5+ wins.

The entire organization is built with the mindset of the games are won with elite lines, especially on defense. Also our GM (says that he) picks best player available. The best player in the draft is a DE. If we had the chance to draft him we are not passing on it. Ever. _________________

I think his floor is a julius peppers type caliber. He's the best college recruit since lavar arrington

He might want to pick his game up. He has been average at best this year. I think Clowney has to concentrate on football and the rest will fall into place. Simple.

^This. Talent or not, the fact that it seems like he's NOT playing up to his potential is problematic. Secondly, if he IS playing full-bore, then the fact that he isn't excelling against double teams doesn't enthuse me either. top players should be able to prove that they can be impactful even against odds. Guys like Suh and Von Miller come to mind who dominated even with offensive game plans geared to focus on them...
